Learn how to handle and identify ethical issues in purchasing.
From this topic, you will learn some new ethical procedures that other organizations are using to keep a level playing field from a seasoned professional. This includes keeping procurements competitive and how to handle vendor interactions. It will give you food for thought as to what you might be overlooking that may give a vendor the impression that you, as a procurement professional, may not be impartial. You will learn what hidden signs to look for and what company policies may need to be instituted to keep or limit undue influence during the bidding process, and come away with some practical tools used in the procurement office to maintain an open and competitive environment.
